Hospitality:<br />
Rajputana<br />
style<br />
Imagine having a leisure<br />
holiday, meeting or an<br />
incentive programme<br />
within the proximity <strong>of</strong> city<br />
limits, yet isolated from<br />
its chaos. Rajasthali Resort<br />
& Spa promotes this facet<br />
with a touch <strong>of</strong> gr<strong>and</strong>eur.<br />
It is positioning itself as a<br />
destination resort to <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
rejuvenation by delivering<br />
royal hospitality.<br />

The Rajasthali Resort & Spa is<br />
strategically located on the<br />
Jaipur-Delhi highway. It is aptly<br />
placed at 22 km north <strong>of</strong> Jaipur,<br />
yet at proximity for a complete getaway<br />
feel. According to Girish Agarwal,<br />
Chairman & Managing Director, Rajasthali<br />
Resorts & Studios, the resort<br />
is targetting both leisure <strong>and</strong><br />
corporate segments. He adds,<br />
“We have themed the entire<br />
resort on the royalty that<br />
Rajasthan is known for. The<br />
resort name refers to ‘where<br />
kings dwell’. Similarly, we<br />
wanted to make people feel as<br />
if they are kings when they stay<br />
with us.”<br />
The resort has been built on a<br />
25 acre plot <strong>of</strong> which around 14 acre has<br />
been left for l<strong>and</strong>scaping, so the spread<br />
brings forth the royal element. A watch<br />
tower in the l<strong>and</strong>scaped area adds an old<br />
world charm having its own significance.<br />
The gr<strong>and</strong>eur <strong>of</strong> Rajputana hospitality is<br />
truly visible as the resort rests in the lap<br />

Rooms & tents<br />
The resort boasts 53 keys <strong>of</strong> which 22 are<br />
tents <strong>of</strong> two varieties <strong>and</strong> 31 rooms with<br />
three variants viz., Premier Palace, Deluxe<br />
Palace <strong>and</strong> Aravalli Suite. Each<br />
room comes with a different<br />
colour theme <strong>and</strong> decor.<br />
The tents have permanent<br />
structures on its sides with a<br />
multi-layered fabric top with<br />
proper air conditioning. The<br />
interiors <strong>of</strong> the tents look regal<br />
<strong>and</strong> modern with a distinct<br />
touch <strong>of</strong> Rajathani culture.<br />
The Gr<strong>and</strong> Tents (seven in all)<br />
have a four fixtures bathroom<br />
with Jacuzzi; the rest are Royal<br />
Tents. The decor primarily highlights<br />
a mix <strong>of</strong> dark maroon <strong>and</strong> gold colours<br />
in the tents, a sign <strong>of</strong> royalty. In fact,<br />
gold has been used as the theme colour<br />
quite generously across the interiors.<br />
